Abstract

Circuitry for protection of an integrated circuit (20) which includes operational-circuits (24) formed on a chip (21). The circuitry includes a plurality of detectors (26), integrally formed on the chip as part of the integrated circuit and dispersed among the operational-circuits on the chip. The detectors are adapted, in response to radiation incident on the chip, to trigger a security measure so as to prevent tampering with the integrated circuit.
